This year, at a workshop focused on styling, Institut Français de la Mode BA students were invited to style key pieces from their graduation collections alongside pieces from the archive at Byronesque, an online brand specialising in contemporary vintage fashion. With pieces from iconic fashion houses meeting the most contemporary of styles, a powerful, forward-thinking dialogue emerged between rare fashion from the past and a series of still-evolving creative processes.
